Materials Data on Nd3Dy by Materials Project
DyNd3 is Uranium Silicide structured and crystallizes in the cubic Pm-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Dy is bonded to twelve equivalent Nd atoms to form DyNd12 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent DyNd12 cuboctahedra, edges with twenty-four equivalent NdNd8Dy4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent DyNd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve equivalent NdNd8Dy4 cuboctahedra. All Dy–Nd bond lengths are 3.65 Å. Nd is bonded to four equivalent Dy and eight equivalent Nd atoms to form NdNd8Dy4 cuboctahedra that share corners with twelve equivalent NdNd8Dy4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent DyNd12 cuboctahedra, edges with sixteen equivalent NdNd8Dy4 cuboctahedra, faces with four equivalent DyNd12 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen equivalent NdNd8Dy4 cuboctahedra. All Nd–Nd bond lengths are 3.65 Å.
